> Fix open POODLE vulnerabilities
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-16662
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16662
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: REST, Thrift
> Reporter: Ben Lau

>
> We recently found a security issue in our HBase REST servers. The issue is a
> variant of the POODLE vulnerability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POODLE)
> and is present in the HBase Thrift server as well. It also appears to affect
> the JMXListener coprocessor. The vulnerabilities probably affect all
> versions of HBase that have the affected services. (If you don't use the
> affected services with SSL then this ticket probably doesn't affect you).
> Included is a patch to fix the known POODLE vulnerabilities in master. Let
> us know if we missed any. From our end we only personally encountered the
> HBase REST vulnerability. We do not use the Thrift server or JMXListener
> coprocessor but discovered those problems after discussing the issue with
> some of the HBase PMCs.
> Coincidentally, Hadoop recently committed a SslSelectChannelConnectorSecure
> which is more or less the same as one of the fixes in this patch. Hadoop
> wasn't originally affected by the vulnerability in the
> SslSelectChannelConnector, but about a month ago they committed HADOOP-12765
> which does use that class, so they added a SslSelectChannelConnectorSecure
> class similar to this patch. Since this class is present in Hadoop 2.7.4+
> which hasn't been released yet, we will for now just include our own version
> instead of depending on the Hadoop version.
> After the patch is approved for master we can backport as necessary to older
> versions of HBase.
